K.C. Chen, executive director of Museum 207, a private museum founded in a Taipei government-designated "historic building," praised the Museum Act at the ceremony for taking into consideration private museums, which are generally housed in rehabilitated old structures.
"The museum law in fact was a very welcome change and very important to the development of museums in Taiwan," she told CNA after accepting Museum 207's official paperwork as a private museum.
"This law actually represents the government's participation in private museums. They will provide the resources we need through this certification process," Chen said. [FULL STORY]
